He recently installed a PCI RAID card, and ever since, his Ethernet card stopped working. Further investigation revealed that his Realtek 8139 (10ec:8139) card had become 10ec:0139, and his 3Com Cyclone card had become 10b7:1055 from 10b7:9055. Did the PCI bus decide to mask those PCI IDs to prevent some sort of resource conflict that would ensue from loading an appropriate driver for these devices? -- Joshua Kwan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
